Paper admission pass, display paper for paper admission pass

Abstract

To provide a paper admission ticket and a display sheet for the paper admission ticket, which support socio-economic activities such as exhibitions without impairing business efficiency and contribute to socio-economic development and reduction of environmental load by reducing waste plastic. [Solution] The paper admission badge 1 is made up of a display sheet 2, a fastener 3, and a hanging cord, all of which are paper, and can be easily combined to form an admission badge for use. Alternatively, the admission badge does not include a hanging cord for participants to wear around their necks, and is worn in a breast pocket or similar. In either case, a single sheet of display paper can be folded along the fold line to obtain the necessary and sufficient strength, and participants can quickly connect the display paper and the hanging cord at the tether 5 formed by overlapping the sheets, or insert the fastener connected to the display paper into a breast pocket or similar to use the paper admission badge. After use, it can be easily separated for recycling, and even if it is disposed of, the environmental impact can be reduced.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to admission passes and name tags worn by participants at exhibitions, conferences, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] At exhibitions, conferences, and other events held at large venues with many participants, participants often wear admission passes or name tags when entering. In these cases, participants usually use business cards they brought with them, or paper prepared in advance with their name and affiliation written on it, or paper with the necessary information printed on it, which is then placed in a ready-made plastic case and worn around the chest or neck on a string to serve as admission passes or name tags.

[0003] However, with such conventional admission passes, environmental issues have been raised, not only because of the paper admission passes used by the many participants, but also because of the large amount of waste generated by the plastic cases used to store them. Although plastic cases are relatively inexpensive, when considering their reuse from an environmental protection perspective, disinfection work is required to avoid the risk of infectious diseases, and after taking into account such efforts and expenses, in many cases they are ultimately disposed of after a single use. In addition, the separation work required for recycling plastic is also time-consuming, so organizers of exhibitions and other events are constantly struggling with the conflicting demands of environmental protection and business efficiency.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2002-341773 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2007-182023 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The objective of this invention is to solve the problem of large amounts of plastic waste being generated each time a conventional exhibition or the like is held. This invention aims to support socio-economic activities such as exhibitions without compromising business efficiency, and by reducing waste plastic, contribute to socio-economic development and the reduction of environmental burden. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The paper admission pass of this invention is distributed to participants at the entrance of an exhibition hall, etc., and the participants can easily process a single sheet of paper with various information printed on it on the spot and quickly use it as an admission pass. In addition to the specifications that consist of three components, namely, the display paper, the fastener, and the hanging cord, there are also specifications that do not require fasteners such as clips. Furthermore, there are various specifications, such as paper admission badges that do not use a hanging cord to hang them around the neck, but are attached directly to the breast pocket of a jacket with a fastener.

[0007] The display paper, which lists the attributes of the participants and other necessary information, can be folded into two pieces, with a fold line provided in the approximate center as a reference. One or more corresponding tethers are provided on both ends where the paper is folded. The display paper and the hanging cord are then connected to a fastener at the tether, and the participant can wear the display paper around their neck with the hanging cord to use it as an admission ticket.

[0008] The inventor also devised a specification in which, without using fasteners, the display paper is connected to a hanging string by one or more tethering parts formed by processing the fittings on both ends of the display paper. As a further different specification, instead of using a hanging cord, the fastener itself has a function of attachment, or the fitting parts on both ends of the display paper are processed to form one or more tethering parts with a function of attachment, resulting in a paper admission badge that participants can use by inserting it into the breast pocket of their jacket, etc., rather than wearing it around their neck. Effect of the Invention

[0009] The paper admission badge of this invention eliminates the need for ready-made plastic cases that have been used in large quantities for admission badges and name tags at large-scale exhibitions, etc. Furthermore, participants themselves can easily process a single sheet of display paper on the spot to create an admission badge, which they can then quickly wear to enter the venue. The display paper, fasteners, and hanging cord are all made of paper, and there are no plastic parts, so there is no need for time-consuming sorting work, and the environmental impact at the time of disposal is small. In addition, since there is no need to store the display paper in a plastic case, the visibility of the various information displayed on it is improved, and there is also greater freedom in the design of the display paper itself, making it possible to create unique admission passes optimized for the theme of an exhibition, etc. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an example of a display sheet. [Diagram 3] FIG. 11 is a plan view showing a different example of the display paper. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] The present inventor will now explain the present invention with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows how the paper admission card 1 of the present invention is used. The display sheet 2 is fastened with a fastener 3, to which a hanging cord can be attached. Participants carry out this series of steps themselves, combine the three items of the display sheet 2, fastener 3, and hanging cord, and use them on the spot as an admission pass or name tag. Note that the inventor has not shown the hanging cord in Figure 1 to simplify the illustration.

[0012] In this example, the two-dimensional code printed on the display paper 2 serves to display information such as the attributes of the participants, and this may be a one-dimensional code or information that people can directly recognize, such as ordinary letters or patterns. The display paper 2, fastener 3, and hanging cord are all made of paper, but their shapes do not necessarily have to be limited to those shown in the illustration.

[0013] FIG. 2 is a plan view of the display sheet 2 of FIG. The inventor has made the size of this display sheet 2, in one prototype example, 10 cm wide x 14.5 cm long. However, since it does not need to be stored in a ready-made plastic case, the size is highly flexible.

[0014] The display paper 2 can be easily folded by providing a fold line 4 that crosses it approximately in the center. This fold line 4 can be of various specifications, such as being processed into an actual groove shape, or simply being provided with a linear mark. Furthermore, it is also possible to have the fold line 4 not necessarily be a straight line, but rather be one or multiple curved lines, so that the paper admission card 1 becomes three-dimensional when processed. Moreover, the display paper 2 has perforations at opposing positions on both ends so that it can be easily pierced by pushing with a finger to form the anchoring part 5. The shape and structure of the anchoring part 5 do not need to be limited to those shown in the figure, and there is a great degree of freedom in design.

[0015] As described above, the explanation of the usage of the paper admission card 1 in FIG. 1 is based on the assumption that a participant will hang the paper admission card 1 from a hanging cord attached to the fastener 3 and suspend it from their neck. However, depending on the shape of the fastener 3 that is connected to the tether 5, it is also possible that the paper admission pass 1 is of a type that participants do not wear around their neck, but rather by inserting part of the fastener 3 into the breast pocket of their jacket, etc.

[0016] FIG. 3 shows another example of the display sheet 2. In FIG. There is no two-dimensional code on display sheet 2, but in addition to the reception number and lottery number, the participant's attributes such as company name, department, position, name, etc. are displayed as text information. Although the four corners of the display paper 2 are rounded off, the paper admission ticket 1 of this invention is not stored in a standard plastic case, and there is a high degree of freedom in its overall shape. For example, it is possible to make the display paper 2 more designed to suit the user's taste, such as a heart or star shape.

[0017] In the display sheet 2 of FIG. 3, the participant can process it into a tethering part 5 by simply combining upper and lower fitting parts 6 that face each other on the spot, without using a fastener 3. Then, the participant can hang the processed tether 5 with a hanging cord and hang it around their neck, or, depending on the shape of the fitting part 6, can attach it to their breast pocket or the like using the attachment function of the tether 5 formed by combining these parts together, and use it as an admission pass or name tag.

[0018] The number of the tether portion 5 and the fitting portion 6 may be one as shown in FIG. 2, or a plurality of them may be provided as shown in FIG. These are generally placed in the center or in a balanced arrangement on the left and right, but depending on the size and shape of the display paper 2, it is not necessarily essential to place them in this manner. In the fitting portion 6 in FIG. 3, two tabs on the upper end of the display paper 2 are raised, and the ends are inserted into the slits on the lower end and folded, making it possible to hang the hanging cord on the tether portion 5 formed by processing the fitting portion 6 without the need for fastener 3. The user can also use it as an admission badge by inserting the nails into the slits on the left and right sides and hanging it in their breast pocket.

[0019] In this way, the paper admission pass 1 of this invention can obtain sufficient strength by folding a single sheet of display paper 2 in two and stacking them, and participants can quickly use it as an admission pass on the spot by simply bundling the display papers 2 with the fastener 3 with a simple procedure. After use, because the paper admission pass 1 is made entirely of paper, no sorting is required and it is easy to recycle. Even if it is incinerated from a hygienic standpoint, the environmental load is very small compared to the use of plastic cases for conventional admission passes. [Explanation of symbols]
